Invasive haemodynamics predict outcomes in paediatric pulmonary artery hypertension.

Background: Invasive haemodynamics are often performed for initiating and guiding pulmonary artery hypertension therapy. Little is known about the predictive value of invasive haemodynamic indices for long-term outcomes in children with pulmonary artery hypertension. We aimed to evaluate invasive haemodynamic data to help predict outcomes in paediatric pulmonary artery hypertension.

Can Alveolar Bone Grafting Using Posterior Iliac Crest be a Day Surgery Procedure?

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine if patients undergoing alveolar bone grafting (ABG) can be discharged home on the day of surgery safely and with high satisfaction.

Design: This is a prospective cohort study of patients who underwent ABG over a 6-month period (August 2022 to February 2023). Medical records were reviewed, and postoperative surveys were provided to assess patient/family experience.

Early Acetabular Fracture Repair Through an Anterior Approach Is Associated With Increased Blood Loss.

Objectives: To determine whether the timing of acetabular fracture fixation through an anterior approach influences estimated and calculated perioperative blood loss.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Setting: Level 1 trauma center from 2013 to 2021.

Nurse-guided Mobile Health Care Program to Reduce Emotional Distress Experienced by Parents of Infants Prenatally Diagnosed with Critical Congenital Heart Disease: A Pilot Study.

Background: Following prenatal diagnosis of critical congenital heart disease (CCHD), parents encounter emotional distress while facing caregiving challenges. Supportive psycho-educational interventions using mobile health (mHealth) can make care more accessible.

Objectives: We tested a novel nurse-guided mHealth care program, Preparing Heart and Mind (PHM), with the objectives of examining feasibility and estimating the effect of the intervention on parents' emotional distress.
